ActiGraph GT9X Link
The ActiGraph GT9X Link is the most sophisticated activity monitor available from the global leader in actigraphy
measurement. The ActiGraph Link combines our extensively validated accelerometry measurement technology
with a variety of advanced new features, including:
Overview
Bluetooth® LE
Enables wireless device features (heart rate monitoring, proximity
detection) and communication with ActiGraph mobile applications.
Programmable display
An LCD window displays date and time, provides optional real-time
subject feedback, or can be completely disabled.
Wear time sensor
Automatically detects if a wrist worn device has been removed for
simplified compliance monitoring and data cleaning.
Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)
Contains a secondary accelerometer and gyroscope and magnetometer
sensors to capture position and rotation data for advanced applications.
This Quickstart Guide provides instructions on how to setup, deploy, and download data from the ActiGraph Link with the ActiLife software.
